The Greens of Israel

The Greens is a green political party in Israel that was founded in 1997. The party's main goal was environmental sustainability, and it failed to win a seat in the Knesset for decades. However, the party won 50 seats across 22 municipalities in the 2008 municipal elections, and the Mayor of Haifa and the Deputy Mayor of Tel Aviv belonged to the party. The party lacked governmental representation, but it held some local government seats.
